All the Chinese dramas I watch praise the women having large eyes, almost all very round. They also emphasize the quality of the skin and the smallness of the face. My VERY favorite actor put out a book on male skin care.
This might just be current style. Some of the older Chinese paintings show the narrowed, slant style.

Mercedes-Benz’s latest hot car ad has caused Asian social media to blow up over ads featuring models sporting makeup that allegedly creates stereotypical “slanted eyes” which the Chinese find extremely offensive.We don't want to start down that slippery slope.

The funny thing is that the models being used now are saving me money.
I look at the children’s clothing ads and close the sites in disgust. Not only must 85% be non-white the models must look angry, disheveled, disaffected, with beard stubble & big hair. That doesn’t even count the sexualization of preteens, another big turnoff.
It’s difficult to estimate $, at least several thousand (8 kids) but I haven’t bought clothes for my cousin’s kids in months between the nonexistent need for dress clothes and revulsion at the models.

Bunch of Wascists just like in Africa, where lighter skin and darker ski are distinguishers of superiority or inferiority...

Yes. It seems it is more important to be PC than to appeal to your customers. What will be next, minority crimminals doing drugs in their ads?

This image isn’t quite big enough to make out the dust mites in her eyelashes. Can you enlarge it?

‘Cancel the West’ is their slogan.
With Biden at the helm they will succeed.

We have apparently infected the Chinese with neurotic crybaby syndrome. That’s payback for COVID.

Yeah, things could get sideways in a hurry.

Same in Asia, all over Asia. Skin lightening products are a *huge* business there, big money maker.
